→ In case of fire: Stop leak if safe to do so.
→ Use a back flow preventive device in the piping.
→ Use only with equipment cleaned for oxygen service.
→ Open valve slowly. Close valve after each use and when empty.
→ Protect from sunlight when ambient temperature exceeds 125 °F (52 °C).
→ Do not expose to higher temperature than 149 °F (+65 °C). If at risk of fire, move to a safe place.
→ Do not use outside operating temperature range –4 °F to 113 °F (–20 °C to +45 °C).
→ Read and follow the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before use.
→ Do not expose to corrosive substances e.g. ammonia.
→ Keep the LIV IQ at a minimum distance of 12 inches (30 cm) from the magnet opening, during use in MRI environment.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
→ Do not move the LIV IQ package during MRI scan as the MR image quality can be degraded.
→ If you suspect there may be electro-magnetic interference between the LIV IQ and other electrical devices, move the
LIV IQ away from those devices.
→ Do not attempt to disassemble the package.
→ Do not attempt to refill the cylinder.
→ Do not alter the markings or labels on the LIV IQ package.
→ In the event of leakage, defective cylinder package or any adverse event, close the valve, mark as "defective", put the
product in a well-ventilated area and contact Linde Healthcare, and in the case of an adverse event, the FDA Medwatch
reporting program. See section 11, Contact information.
→ Using the pressure outlet and the flow outlet at the same time may result in a lower-than-indicated flow rate, and may
activate a high flow ("HI/FLO") alarm. It is not recommended that both outlets are used simultaneously. To silence the
alert and continue using both outlets at the same time, single press and hold the mute button for three seconds.
→ In the event of extreme temperature changes, the low flow and high flow alerts may be temporarily unavailable.
National laws, specifications and regulations for handling pressurized gas
cylinders must be observed.
